XX.

The LIFE of GEORGE, LORD JEFFREYS, sometime Lord Chief Justice of the King's Bench, and Lord High Chancellor of England in the Reign of James II. By HUMPHREY W. WOOLRYCH, Esq. 8vo.

The name of Jeffreys has been handed down to posterity as though no censures were too great, no curses too bitter for him. The scanty memoirs which have been yet published concerning him, abound more in efforts to aggravate his unpopularity, than to canvass the actions of his impetuous career with the impartiality which is due to history. The Author of these pages has honestly endeavoured to display the brightest colourings of the Judge's character, and while he dares not approve those vices which all mankind have concurred in condemning, he boldly asks a meed of praise for Jeffreys where the redeeming points of his conduct consistently demand it.
